Concept and approach of springshed development and management 22 jan 2020India Water Portal
Over the last decade, demand for spring management has increased as traditional spring sources have started drying up or becoming contaminated. In response, communities, NGOs and state agencies began dedicated spring protection programmes. In the Himalayas, the State of Sikkim and organizations such as Central Himalayan Action and Research Group (CHIRAG) and People Science Institute (PSI) started identifying and protecting spring recharge areas around 2007. The difference between these programmes and many other previous efforts is that they went beyond supply-side improvements to focus on the use of hydrogeology to map springsheds for targeted interventions.
The Advanced Centre for Water Resources Development and Management (ACWADAM), a research and capacity-building organization comprised of hydrogeologists and other experts began lending their expertise and building capacity of stakeholders. ACWADAM provides technical support, training and materials in hydrogeology to all network partners as well as others in India and the region. Similar programmes began independently in most of the mountain regions of India. Arghyam, a funding organization that was supporting many of these programmes, noticed that these disparate initiatives shared commonalities despite geographic diversity. They thus organized and funded a meeting of these various organizations in June 2014, and the Springs Initiative was born.
The springs initiative aims to tackle the current water crisis and to ensure safe and sustainable access to water for all, by promoting responsible and appropriate management of aquifers, springsheds, and watersheds and conserving ecosystems in partnership with communities, governments and other stakeholders.
This presentation has been developed as a part of the springs initiative to promote an understanding of springs and their role in mountainous areas.

Wetland Restoration, Rehabilitation & Management Strategies for Conservation ...Sezan Sakawat
A wetland is an ecosystem characterized by the presence of water, either permanently or seasonally. It covered by various geographical areas, including coastal areas, inland regions, and even also arid environments.
The definition of the Ramsar Convention is:
“Wetlands are areas of marsh, fen, peat land or water, whether natural or artificial, permanent or temporary, with water that is static or flowing, fresh, brackish or salt, including areas of marine water the depth of which at low tide does not exceed six meters”
According to the Bangladesh water act, 2013 wetland defines as "Wetland means any land where water remains at the level of surface or close to it and which inundates with shallow water from time to time, and where grows such plants that may usually grow and survive in marsh land." Rivers, floodplains, haor, baor, beel, jheel, ponds, low-lying places, etc. are commonly thought of as wetlands in Bangladesh. Wetlands also refer to inlands that flood periodically and coastal regions where water is deposited owing to tidal effect.

Learning analytics (LA) has been touted as a game changer for education. The rapidly growing literature associated with the field serves to promote this fervour in citing the vast impact LA can and will play in the education space. From the detection of at-risk students to address retention and performance, building self-regulated learning, development and identification of 21st Century literacies to the realisation of personalised learning, there appears little that LA cannot contribute to within learning and teaching practice. However, if LA is such an impactful, desirable and worthy endeavour that can effectively improve learning, and our understanding of the learning process, why are there so few examples of institutional LA adoption?

(Research in progress paper, presented at STI2014) Exploring the effects of the motivation of a research project on the research team composition, management, and outputs
Scientists' motivation to conduct research can be broadly classified as either external motivation, such as fame or financial gain, or internal motivation (Deci and Flaste, 1996). Various cases have demonstrated the importance of intellectual curiosity as an internal motivation (Misu, Horoiwa & Tsunoda, 2008; Stephan, 2012). At the same time, scientific research is a competitive process that seeks to establish priority (Merton, 1973). Consequently, the external motivation of achieving fame and recognition via the establishment of priority in research is also important.
The quadrant model introduced by Donald Stokes provides a method for classifying research motivation by content (Stokes, 1997). Stokes applied this concept to overcome the classification of research as one-dimensional (i.e., either basic or applied) and categorized research motivation into “pursuit of fundamental principles/understanding” and “solving specific issues in real life.” In this model, the Pasteur's quadrant covers such “use-inspired basic research” exemplified by the research by Pasteur, while the Bohr's quadrant covers pure basic research and the Edison's quadrant covers pure applied research.
Analyses of recent scientific papers reveal an increase in the number of authors per paper over time (Adams, Black, Clemmons, and Stephan, 2005; Wuchty, Jones, and Uzzi, 2007). This trend indicates a shift in the unit of scientific research from the individual to a team of scientists and implies that the composition and management of such teams have become increasingly important in scientific research.
On the basis of the previous studies, the purpose of this research in progress paper is to analyse the following questions: Is there relationship between motivation of a research project and (i) the composition of the research team; (ii) research management; and (iii) research outputs?

The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

What are integrated landscape approaches and how effectively
have they been implemented in the tropics: a systematic map
2. What are integrated landscape
approaches?
A response to the failings of sectorial land management
approaches
The latest in a series of attempts to concurrently address
conservation and development challenges
A refinement of previous approaches
A method to integrate stakeholders at multiple scales
A framework to integrate policy and practice
An attempt to reconcile traditional scientific disciplinary
divides
A land management strategy to fulfill social, economic,
ecological & cultural objectives
A tool to assess performance and manage trade-offs within
the landscape
All of the above?
3. Landscapes are complex socio-
ecological systems

16. Challenges
Large body of literature on “landscape approaches” and
“ecosystem approaches” but little consensus on applicability
or terminology
General principles and guidelines have been largely missing
But see: Sayer et al. 2013. Ten principles for a landscape
approach…
However, need to avoid “one size fits all” approach
Governance concerns, lack of empowerment given to rural
communities
Limited private sector investment
Institutional & disciplinary barriers - government agencies
still rooted in silos
Lack of appropriate metrics: “monitoring is the least well
developed area”
Stop making assumptions, start acting…but how?!
